We understand that the Scotch yacht
Thistle is not going to have such an easy
run for the Americas cup as what the
caDny Scotchman supposed. Before she
time comes for the trial races Boston will
have another yacht to defend the Amer
ica's cup against the Thistle. Edward
Burgess will be the designer and General
Paine the owner of the new boat. The
plans for the new vessel are nearly COM
pleted, and her architect is confident that
she will prove even more feet craft
than even the Puritan or the Mayfower,
Since the Thistle's dimensions became
known General Paine was one of the first
to recognize the fact that the designer
had made great stride forward, and that
the new boat would prove q troublesome
customer. The General waited to see
what would be done about it by other
parties, and as no one stepped forward
he determined to build another boat.
Lieutenant Hem, R. N, owner of the
English cutter Galatea, and his wife, ar

The Americas Cup committee of the
New York Yacht Club, is the same this
year as last. E1-Commodore James D.
Smith, an enthusiastic yachtsman, and
possibly better known as the president
of the New York Stock Exchange, is
chairman of the committee, who unhesi-
tatingly declares that ali suggestions of
practical nature regarding the retention
OF the old trophy will have serious con-
sideration.
To this end Commodore Smith has
officially opened the ball by asking Gen
eral Paine about the movements of the
sloop Mayfower. The answer is that if
the owner of the English cutter Arrow
does not impose conditions of a nature
too rigid and unreasonable the Mayhower
will go to England. She will, however,
return to America to take part in the
trial races which will be inaugurated in
the fall to select yacht to defend the
cup.
A fight with skin gloves to a finish,
according to the Marquis of Queensberry
rules, has been arranged between John
2. Glow, of Omaha, Neb, and Frank
Glover, of Chicago, to take place ten
weeks from signing articles, for $1,000
side. Glover is far the heavier man, but
Glow feels confident he can defeat him
by science and generalship.
John p. Glow offers to fight any 1885,
pound man on earth to finish for s., 800
to $1,000 side, and challenges Jack
Dempsey to fight him for either of the
named sums. His hackers are Omaha
sporting men of means.
